Remote Desktop → Windows Instructions

The following page(s) contain instructions on using Remote Desktop to connect to Faculty & Staff Windows computers on the UMKC campus (from off-campus).

Attention: Your campus computer must be powered on and
you must also have rights to access your computer remotely. You must also follow these steps
(one time only) to ensure your campus computer is ready to accept Remote Desktop connections. If you need assistance, please contact the
IS Call Center or your IT Liaison.

Anyone wanting to use Remote Desktop from off-campus (using a Windows computer) should no longer connect via VPN,
but should rather configure their Remote Desktop client to use UMKC's Remote Desktop Gateway.

Note: Always make sure you are using the latest version of the Remote Deskop client by running Windows Update periodically.
